File Synchronization in Blob Storage.

Question

Hello friends,

I have a File sync service scenario configured and operational. However, at this moment I would like to evolve this scenario and keep using the File Sync Agent.

Demand: Synchronize the files through the File Sync Agent on a File Server, directing these files to a Blob.

Question: Is there any way to apply this solution in a kind of hybrid environment between File Sync Agent/Blob instead of File Sync Agent/File Shares?

Once a file has been transferred to a blobA through the file sync server, it will be immediately and automatically copied to a blobB as well (imagine a conveyor belt where several blobs receive the files, but then all the files go to a single concentrator blob ). Today we do this at night. Everything that goes up separately will end up in a single redundant repository, however this is scheduled to run once a day, as I mentioned, at dawn. What we need at this point is a little different, we need that as soon as the file arrives in blobA there is a "trigger" that triggers an action in Azure that takes it immediately to blobB.

Azure File Sync is designed to work exclusively with Azure Files and does not connect to Blob Storage. I am unsure of your exact use-case but perhaps consider using something like azcopy sync to sync from your local system to your blob container. You could have this setup to run frequently on a schedule or trigged from your application.

Azure Storage offers built in redundancy options so it should not be necessary to manually make two copies of your blob. The lowest redundancy level is, Locally redundant storage (LRS), LRS copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. You can view the various redundancy options here.

Sorry, I think I didn't express myself correctly. Let's go

1 - Today I have several clients that transmit files from their file servers via File Sync Agent, to a File Server located in my Azure.

2 - Every day at 7 pm, I trigger an AzCopy process that sends all files received to a Container created in another Azure so that all files are centralized.

My demand is to automate this sending throughout the day, that is, the client transmitted the file at 12:30 pm at the most, 12:30 pm to be sent to the central file, and not only at 19 pm.
